Name: Platanus occidentalis - Fraxinus pennsylvanica - Ulmus americana / Cornus sericea Forest Reference: Eastern Ecology Working Group of... Description: This sinkhole pond floodplain forest of northwestern New Jersey occurs in solution sinkholes that developed on Allentown Dolomite bedrock with glacial till / bedrock surficial deposits. Soils are shallow silt loam or silty clay loam over bedrock and somewhat poorly drained. The closed-canopy deciduous forest is dominated by Platanus occidentalis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, and Ulmus americana. Other associates may include Carya alba (= Carya tomentosa), Carya cordiformis, Celtis occidentalis, or Quercus bicolor. The most common shrub is Cornus sericea, with associates including Ilex verticillata and Spiraea alba var. latifolia. Vines include Toxicodendron radicans and Vitis riparia. The herbaceous layer is characterized by Scutellaria lateriflora, Symphyotrichum racemosum (= Aster racemosus), Lysimachia ciliata, Boehmeria cylindrica, and Carex granularis. Associated herbs include Acalypha rhomboidea, Carex bebbii, Carex pellita, Mentha arvensis, Onoclea sensibilis, Dichanthelium acuminatum var. fasciculatum (= Panicum lanuginosum var. tennesseense), and Thelypteris palustris. This association is broadly similar to Fraxinus pennsylvanica - (Juglans nigra, Platanus occidentalis) Forest (CEGL006575) but differs in its environmental setting (pond floodplain as opposed to alluvial floodplain).  Accession Code: VB.CC.27918.PLATANUSOCCIDEN Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
